Ryan Spann has sent several shockwaves through the fighting community with his performance in the Octagon. Be it Dominick Reyes, or Nikita Krylov, the light heavyweight contender has shown the world why he is called the ‘Superman’. After all, he has a pretty impressive professional mixed martial arts record of 21 victories. 

This massive success has intrigued the fight fans to wonder about the LHW fighter’s personal and dating life. If you’re one of such curious minds, you’ve come to the right spot! Today, we shall take a look at Spann’s dating life and learn everything there is to know about his family.

Who is Ryan Spann’s wife? Do they have kids together?

Reportedly, the 33-year-old Spann has been married for quite a while now. But to the disappointment of his fans, ‘Superman’ has never mentioned the name or any other details about his wife to date. Also, his wife has never been witnessed at the octagon side or any major UFC event to date. Hence, there is only a negligible amount of information available about Ryan Spann’s wife in the public domain.

However, the better-known fact is that Spann has three children with his spouse. His kids are named, Ryan Jr., Cheyenne, and Yahsir, although the order of their birth remains an unknown fact.

Spann posts quite a number of images along with his kids on his Instagram profile as well. But, he keeps it private from general users. Reportedly, Spann spends a lot of his outside UFC time with his kids. He is a devoted father and lives a happy life with his family.

The romance between the couple is something that can make anyone shy. However, the world of mixed martial arts has kept on wondering for how long have the two dated each other.

Ryan Spann’s dating history

Knowing about the person Spann is, one can hardly expect the details of his dating life to come out in public. The only known fact is that Spann has been with his wife for quite a while now. But there is one thing that the light heavyweight fighter hasn’t forgotten. And it was wishing his wife a happy anniversary back in April 2024. 

‘Superman’ took to Instagram with a celebratory mood and shared a picture of his wife. In the caption, he wrote, “Happy AKAanniversary to my lovely wife. So happy you get to continue to do what you love.”

He has also credited his wife for his success inside the octagon multiple times to date. But no information is available about ‘Superman’s’ dating life in the public domain. Leaving his dating life aside, let’s shine some light on Spann’s personal life for a moment, shall we?

All about Ryan Spann’s personal life 

Born on 24 August 1991, Spann grew up in Westwood, Memphis. He got pretty intrigued by the world of martial arts from a very young age. Since then, he has continued to grow both as a person and as a fighter.

His coach at Fortis MMA, Sayif Saud once said, “I think really what it is, more than anything, is that I think he’s just grown up; that’s the easiest way to say it. I think that’s really a time where we all kind of start to grow up — when you hit your 30s — and I feel like I’ve seen that maturing process out of him. As you grow, you learn, and I feel like his fighting career is doing the same thing. We’re just starting to scratch the surface of what he’s capable of with this kind of focus.”

Growing up in Memphis, Spann faced quite a bit of trouble with the bullies. However, he had a savior. And it was none other than his father. Being the defender of the neighborhood, people began calling Spann Sr. ‘Superman’. If you’re connecting the dots between the nicknames of Spann and his father, you’re definitely on the right track. People used to call him ‘Superkid’ because of his power, but he took on his father’s moniker once he turned 17 years old. Needless to say, the struggle against bullies played a vital role in Spann’s UFC career.

Now, ‘Superman’ is all set to fight Ovince Saint Preux at UFC 307. But the question that circles around the combat sports realm is whether Spann will establish himself as the stronger fighter, or lose the fight. Well, that’s something only time can tell. For now, all we as fans can do is speculate.

Who do you think will win between Spann and Saint Preux? Will Spann’s wife’s cheer boost his energy and let him outperform his opponent? Let us know what you think in the comments down below.
